On January 10, the British Governor-General announced that India would be granted Dominion status after the war. On February 10, the Japanese army began to attack India. Not only did the British and French not resist, they took the opportunity to evacuate all expatriates and factories.
The islanders quickly occupied more than 328 square kilometers of India and began to capture laborers and mine various minerals. This unstoppable operation left Britain and France in a hurry, and they quickly sent ambassadors to negotiate with Roosevelt.
Hu Zhiyong also welcomed their commercial envoys and requested a large amount of food and weapons during the war. Of course Hu Zhiyong was willing and sent Xie Jinyuan and Hu Da to negotiate with them on specific matters.
The Strait of Malacca has become the lifeline of five countries. All navies and submarines began to make sneak attacks here. Hu Zhiyong stopped fleet transportation, and a large number of cargo planes participated in the sales of supplies.
Churchill ascended to the throne of Prime Minister and first delivered a speech of "blood, toil and sweat": "All I can offer is blood, toil, sweat and tears. We still have to endure extremely severe tests. We face a long and arduous journey."
struggle.
You want to ask what our policy is? My answer is: fight on sea, land and air, do our best, fight with all the power God has given us. Our enemy is a cruel and cruel tyrant unprecedented in the history of human crime. We must
It is our policy to fight the enemy to the death.
If you want to ask us what is our purpose? I can answer in two words, that is: victory. Win at all costs, win at all bloodshed and sacrifice. No matter how long or rugged the road is, we must win! Because there is no victory
Just can't survive.
I hope everyone realizes this: without victory, the British Empire will not survive, everything the British Empire represents will no longer exist, and the driving force that drives human history forward will no longer exist.
I accept my task with great hope, convinced that our cause will not be allowed to fail. At this time, I feel entitled to ask for the support of all, and I say: Let us unite in this national crisis.
Bar!"
Hu Zhiyong admitted that Churchill’s speech and this kind of passionate language can really inspire and inspire. From the British ambassador’s mouth, he learned that Britain uses the Atlantic straits to import strategic materials.
"There must be a gap in a hundred secrets!" Hu Zhiyong almost fell down. The Strait of Malacca has little effect on Britain, and his business plan may be reduced a lot.
"I don't believe that Germany will not take action in the Atlantic Ocean!" Hu Zhiyong was at the Far East Command. Hou Dashun believed that the original plan was not wrong.
"Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean!" Hu Zhiyong smiled bitterly: "I'm not familiar with that place and didn't pay attention to the information there."
"Master, we occupy a large number of air force transport fleets and have no choice but to develop towards the Atlantic Ocean in Los Angeles. Moreover, our commercial base in Virginia happens to be near the Atlantic Ocean. It is about 6,000 kilometers from the United Kingdom to the United States. The transport aircraft DC-3 launched by Douglas Company has a speed of 290 kilometers per hour.
kilometers, the range is 2,400 kilometers.”
The current strategic transport aircraft developed by Phoenix City has a take-off weight of more than 150 tons and a range of 5,000-12,000 kilometers. Only their aircraft can easily cross the Atlantic Ocean, which is what Hou Dashun judged to be beneficial to them.
"I'm afraid that the United States will come to negotiate with me again!" Hu Zhiyong stood up: "We must not shrink from interests. Send a report to my second uncle. Either order our aircraft, or we will independently bear the supplies to support Britain and France!"
"yes!"
In fact, Hu Zhiyong considered the problem to be complicated. Britain needed Phoenix City's supplies far more than what was purchased in the United States. He discussed with Roosevelt that food and oil would be provided by the U.S. government, and weapons and other food and supplies would be supported by Phoenix City.
At the end of March, Hu Zhiyong finally received a telegram from Roosevelt. After the third son of the Hu family was relieved, he began to gather shipbuilding technicians in Shanghai, Tianjin and Hong Kong to rush out the unfinished warships and an aircraft carrier in advance.
The island country occupied India and stopped to digest the use of materials in the occupied area. Hu Zhiyong was very depressed, and he did not expect that the British and French troops were in such a mess. At this time, he thought of the disputed areas on the Indian border, but he did not have the strength to seize the opportunity!
"Forget it! I have occupied the islands in the South China Sea, the Far East, Ryukyu, Phoenix City and Palau. Only the disputed land in the north is left. I believe that China will be able to regain it in the future!"
After figuring it out, Hu Zhiyong's mood improved. He was inspecting the built railway and ordered Hou Dashun and Liang Chengfu to hurry up. The Soviet Union would soon request the opening of the Siberian Arterial Transport Line.
"Master, all the soldiers in the puppet captured team are willing to adapt, and the remaining officers and Japanese technical personnel will be put together. This will be more conducive to production!" Nearly 100,000 traitor teams were captured, which was simply a free gift to the Far East.
batch of laborers. Hou Dashun mentioned this matter just to divide these people and reduce the defensive pressure on the custody troops.
"Yes!" Hu Zhiyong warned them vigilantly: "No officer can be trusted and must be re-educated through labor for three years before being released to the mainland!"
"Yes! Those islanders -" Hou Dashun hesitated. There were tens of thousands of islanders left in the Far East, most of them women and some technical talents.
"Stay, so many of our soldiers need to start families. Once the ratio of men to women is imbalanced, it will cause a lot of trouble!" Hu Zhiyong pondered: "None of the technicians from the island country can be sent back. Let them start families here after three years.
Let them settle here."
"Report, the Blood Wolf Team sent a telegram, all parts of the South China Sea have been occupied, and the defending soldiers have newly formed a new army to take charge of the defense of each island!"
Hu Zhiyong smiled slightly and said to the confidential section chief: "The Blood Wolf troops have a week's rest. Their new mission will be issued soon!"
"yes!"
"The temperature is rising, agriculture must also step up!" Hu Zhiyong looked at Liang Chengfu: "Starting from April, we will reclaim wasteland and strive for vegetables. The food supply will be solved by ourselves! Negotiate with Rehe and Chahar to purchase more cattle and sheep for development.
Livestock farming here.”
"I have already arranged it!" Liang Chengfu sighed: "It's not easy to be the leader of this government!"
"Hahahaha!" Hu Zhiyong sneered and laughed: "Actually, Hu Da, my third uncle, and my eldest brother are qualified for this position, but none of us are qualified!"
Podlov came over and said excitedly to Hu Zhiyong: "Europe has declared no war, but Asia is fighting lively."
"Don't gloat yet. When Europe starts fighting, I'm afraid you'll cry!" Hu Zhiyong looked at the proud Soviet ambassador and said slyly: "Hurry up and prepare a batch of gold. I'll wait for the critical moment.
Give it to you!"
"Will Germany attack the Soviet Union?" Bodrov shook his head in disbelief: "France and Britain will keep him busy for a few years. By then our defenses will be impregnable!"
"How many years?" Hu Zhiyong raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, you have a year and a half. Although you can get material assistance from the United States, it is only a billion US dollars at most!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Podrov believed that Hu Zhiyong was trying to sow discord between the Soviet Union and Germany, and even more so that he was just listening to scaremongering.
"You will understand what happens in the future! What do you want from me?" Hu Zhiyong changed the subject and asked the angry diplomat.
"The commander-in-chief wants to cooperate with you, let's make a fortune together!" Podlov then remembered the purpose of coming and said it hurriedly.
"Use the Siberian Railway to transport supplies to Europe!" Hu Zhiyong shook his head: "I will not cooperate with you. The more than 8,000 kilometers of railway transportation lines are not as convenient as my plane."
"Aren't you afraid of their anti-aircraft weapons?" Podlov asked strangely.
"Don't be afraid!" Hu Zhiyong sneered: "The German anti-aircraft turret has a maximum range of 12,800 meters, and our aircraft can fly to a height of 30,000 meters, with a maximum speed of 3.5 times the speed of sound. You have developed a missile, and in my case
It’s out of reach in front of the plane!”
Podlov was startled and asked Hu Zhiyong: "Do you know about missiles?"
"You got the intelligence from Germany, but it's a pity that their test has not been successful yet!" Hu Zhiyong smiled proudly. He got Braun, which caused the delay in the launch of the German missile.
"When do you think the European war will happen?" Podrov felt a lot more relaxed. The German missiles turned out to be unsuccessful, which was different from the news their intelligence department had received.
"It won't be two months later!" Hu Zhiyong said with certainty: "The German military cannot be underestimated. The intensity of their attack will destroy the Maginot Line in one fell swoop!"
The Soviet Union wanted to make a fortune from the war. Hu Zhiyong understood Podlov's intention. He sarcastically said: "Listen to my advice and prepare your own supplies first! If you sell weapons to others, you will pay twice in the future.
Buy at twice the price!”
Podlov did not dare to be careless about Hu Zhiyong's affirmative words. He left in a hurry, and a telegram was quickly placed on Stalin's desk. In the conference room in Moscow, Stalin spoke to the Red Army Chief of General Staff Shaposhnikov and Deputy Chief of Staff Shaposhnikov.
Chief Vasilevsky asked: "What do you think of this?"
Shaposhnikov was bold and careful in the formulation of combat plans, neither catering to authority nor sticking to rules. It was precisely because of his intelligence and military genius in formulating combat plans that he was hailed as "the leader of the Soviet Red Army".
brain".
When Stalin asked, he quickly expressed his thoughts: "It seems arrogant and incredible, but I think his judgment is basically credible!"
"Are we really going to get involved in the war?" Stalin wondered. How dare Germany start a war on two fronts?
"Once France is occupied by Germany, the German army will be able to free up its troops to attack the north!" Vasilevsky took over and said: "Major issues such as personnel, material and technical equipment support required by the front armies, and the preparation of reserves for the front line must be grasped urgently.
Solution. None of our soldiers thought of joining the German army and starting a war. This is the most terrifying thing!"
"The world is in chaos!" Stalin sighed. He wanted to make a fortune with Hu Zhiyong, but he did not expect to get such important information.
